Probably the ideal maker volunteer is a retired atheist who is an expert in some skill like metal working, fixing cars, science, pottery, etc.

@Team_Moderators, can Raffiā€™s hijacking of yet another thread be split off from this one and flushed to where it belongs?

not making a value judgement on atheist or believers, my only point was that people who donā€™t have a community may be more likely to see makerspace as a place of community if they lack a church setting, that being said we have plenty of strong religious members who contribute greatly.

I might say that it is more than atheists. There are also plenty of agnostic people that donā€™t go to a church that might find the makerspace a good community and knitters.
